Description

Property; determines whether the column can be edited by a user (true) or not (false). The DataGrid.editable property must be true in order for individual columns to be editable, even when DataGridColumn.editable is set to true. The default value is true.

CAUTION

The DataGrid is not editable or sortable if it is bound directly to a WebServiceConnector component or an XMLConnector component. You must bind the DataGrid component to the DataSet component and bind the DataSet component to the WebServiceConnector component or XMLConnector component if you want the grid to be editable or sortable.

Example

The following example prevents items in the first column in a grid from being edited:

// Set grid attributes.
my_dg.setSize(150, 100);
my_dg.editable = true;

// Add columns to grid.
my_dg.addColumn("name");
my_dg.addColumn("score");

// Set up sample data.
my_dg.addItem({name:"Clark", score:3135});
my_dg.addItem({name:"Bruce", score:403});
my_dg.addItem({name:"Peter", score:25});

// Don't allow first column to be editable.
my_dg.getColumnAt(0).editable = false;
